cut copy

Alright, so this week I plan to feature dance/electro bands. I chose this theme because it's the new year and I feel the need to enlighten some with party music.

To start it off properly I begin with Cut Copy. These Austrilian natives released Bright Like Neon Love earlier this year which is a stellar debut album. Even Franz Ferdinand have become fond of this band. It's futuristic pop influenced by the likes of ELO and New Order.

I find myself listening to this album while I'm either riding my bike or walking aimlessly throughout the city. It's just amazing background music that puts a smile to your face. Though it may remind you of music for a car commerical, Cut Copy's song are bound to make your hips shake.
